This Awareness Ribbon Bundle brings a vibrant set of symbols into the sandtray, each representing meaningful causes, personal stories, and the emotions tied to advocacy, identity, and lived experience. Whether used to honor someone, explore personal struggles, or express support, these ribbons offer clients a powerful way to externalize what may feel too big or too quiet to say out loud.
Each ribbon can hold positive themes such as strength, hope, solidarity, resilience, and remembrance, while also reflecting challenging themes like grief, illness, stigma, injustice, and the weight of lived experiences. Their flexibility makes them invaluable tools for therapy, supervision, group work, and identity exploration.
